I'm not saying anything about this one way or the other, I just don't know, but that article was published in The Journal of the American Physicians and Surgeons. Here is what they say about themselves:
They are doctors, dentists, and the highly discredited professionals known as chiropractors. It makes me wonder: "If this article could withstand peer review by top scientists, why was it published in the foot-doctor journal?"
I'm not saying it's not good science, but it looks bad.
Not all peer-reviewed journals are equal.
And if anyone else doesn't trust "summaries" of scientific articles put together by potentially slanted writers, here's the PDF of the article. I haven't had a chance to dig into it yet, but I'm sure somebody will want to.
